watched last night. for those that followed the story when it was actually happening back in 2008, it was kind of a re-hash of events BUT the acting was excellent esp Paul Giamatti as Ben Bernanke, William Hurt as Henry Paulson, James Woods as Dick Fuld and Billy Crudup as Timothy Geithner

why the HELL Geithner was selected as Obama's Treasury Secretary after his roll in the TARP scheme is beyond me

I liked Inside Job a lot more.

haven&#x27;t seen Inside Job yet BUT just from cuts I&#x27;ve seen I&#x27;m sure I will agree. &#xD;&#xA;like I said, "Too Big to Fail" pretty much a re-hash of events. thought the acting was excellent, though.

Sorkin gave interview where he said the CEO of Morgan Stanley (lifer there) had at one pt $1 BILLION in company stocks which eventually sold for $56K!!!

I give him credit for not bailing on company.
